The Grey Brewer

Sitting in a Zoom meeting where the architect has repeated the phrase, "according to my friend ChatGPT" and I'm slowly dying inside.

I'm a day late, but now and forever, fuck Christopher Columbus, and anyone who thinks statues to that genocidal rapist asshole should exist in public anywhere. rudepundit.blogspot.com/2026/10/ongo...

After nearly being run off the road by someone who clearly couldn't control their car properly, I just have to say: If you drive with one hand at the top of your steering wheel, you are a shitty driver. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

"I can't argue my point, because it's a shitty point that I haven't really thought about, so I'll just ignore people who don't already agree with me and assume that they're all just men who are arguing because I'm a woman."

Bluesky, I love you, but I don't have you on my phone. This is why. wondermark.com/c/1582/

Oh shit, Scott Adams died? I didn't get you anything, universe. You shouldn't have.

Oh hey, Dick Cheney is dead. Day's looking brighter already. Vote, y'all!

Voted today. Yes on CO keeping tax dollars, because fuck TABOR. Yes on raising taxes on rich people, because duh. As for the school board, everyone is "non-partisan" which, OK. But if you either didn't do the survey, or talked about "keeping politics and culture wars out of education", then buh bye.

Seeing one of your favorite comedians have a take like "Monster Mash is bad, actually" and then not be able to quote it, for...reasons, is the last thing I expected to happen on Halloween.

They lied, or misrepresented the results of their "work". Any significant outcome anyone has ever reported as a result of using "AI" is a lie. It's all propaganda to make rich techbros richer.

While it is very satisfying to watch Krash Patel melt down when confronted with anything more challenging than a game of Candy Land, that he got this far is very worrying.

It's long, but it's meant to be an exhaustive repository for ways to respond to breathless AI boosters. Not sure it will help, as they're usually drowning in the Kool-"AI"d, but here you go. www.wheresyoured.at/how-to-argue...

My general rule of, "anyone with a Greek or Latin philosopher as part of their username isn't worth engaging with" remains unbroken.

Racist Atlantic Writer Has Another Hot Take

Generally, I need to take something seriously to drum up actual hate, and I don't take manchildren especially seriously, but the manosphere sucks. A whole lot.

Sitting in a salon waiting area, overhearing some absolutely wild medical theories from one of the stylists. I hope she doesn't see how hard I'm rolling my eyes. It's affecting my posture.

I don't know what's worse, promoting AI (read: chatbots), or using "AI" alarmism as a jumping-off point to promote capitalism. I'm not linking to this garbage, because they don't deserve the clicks, but feel free to look up the source, which includes one of the worst fake graphs I've ever seen.

TACO Supreme Court, now worth almost as much as what you can get at Taco Bell.

I hope all these dipshit Trump voters are okay with trading a few brown people escorted out of the country for global thermonuclear war. Great job.

When Kate Wagner decides to post something like this, you listen. I'm not in NYC, either, but I've spent a lot of time there, and they deserve better than scumbag Cuomo. mcmansionhell.com/post/7865401...

Because Chris "CRT" Rufo couldn't possibly be lying about his "confidential source" now, could he? Nor could the equally (un)trustworthy Manhattan Institute, right? Ridiculous. www.snopes.com/news/2025/06...

I left Xitter because Nazis, and I thought this place would be great, but even with the return of my ability to curate my feed, I can't deal with the amount of ignorance in the comments. Farewell.

So today I learned that "cars bad" is just a thing here. Not promoting fossil fuels, or denying climate change. Just...liking to drive. And if you do, it's cool to liken you to internet misogynists, and then claim you were joking.

I'd say that we Americans are living out Idiocracy, but even in that movie, the President knew to consult someone smarter than he was.

The Roads Both Taken xkcd.com/3076/ I have a weakness for nerdy poetry.

Quite possibly the best, if not the most concise, description of Elon Musk I've ever read. The whole essay is great. www.the-reframe.com/the/#:~:text...
